adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning
gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to
back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After
installation of a range hood or other cooking fume
extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be
tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of
combustion gases does not occur.
• To replace the lamp, only use the lamp indicated in the
maintenance/lighting system section of this manual. • Using
a naked flame may damage the filters and cause a fire
hazard, and must therefore be avoided under all
circumstances. • Extra care must be taken when frying to
prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire. • In case
of doubt, contact the authorised service centre or similar
qualified personnel.
INSTALLATION SAFETY
•Use the fixing screws supplied with the product only if
suitable for the surface; otherwise purchase the correct
type of screws. •Check for accessories (e.g. bags
containing screws, warranty certificates, etc.) inside the
product (placed there for transport reasons). If there are
any, remove them and keep them safe. • WARNING:
Failure to install screws and fasteners in accordance with
these instructions may result in electrical hazards. •The
exhaust pipe is not supplied and must be purchased. •The
diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the
diameter of the connecting ring. •For installation of the
product on the hob, respect the height indicated in the
drawings •The minimum distance between the surface of
the container supports on the cooker and the lowest part of
the range hood must not be less than 60 cm (not less than
70 cm only for Australia and New Zealand) for electric
cookers and 70 cm for gas or mixed cookers. •If the
installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater
distance, take it into account.
Checking the ceiling for first installation:
• The ceiling must be flat, horizontal and sufficiently solid
and strong. • The hood is designed to be installed in a false
ceiling. The false ceiling must be solid and have an
adequate load capacity for a product weighing max. 35 kg.
Do not install the hood directly in the false ceiling panels,
but use a suitable frame or support.
Installation of plasterboard panels:
Attention!: installation must be performed by qualified
installers.
For the installer: responsibility for the installation of the
hood, including verification of the conformity of any fixing kit
supplied with the product, is the sole responsibility of the
installer. Following is a non-exhaustive list of helpful
instructions for the installer (who will need the help of a
plasterboard installer) to assemble the plasterboard panels:
• use a type of fire-resistant plasterboard (in accordance
with art. 30 of IEC/EN 60335-2-31), suitable for the
operating conditions in terms of temperature (at least 80°C)
and humidity (at least 93%) reached during use; the total
weight of the plasterboard used must not exceed 4 kg; •
secure the plasterboard to the hood by means of the fixing
points F1 (diameter 4.5 mm) on the metal panel • when
securing the plasterboard, use suitable mechanical
components (not included in the assembly kit) • It is
advisable to use metric flat head screws and nuts. Elica
denies all liability for damage to persons or property
resulting from incorrect installation of the plasterboard
panels and/or product. The warranty on the product will
not be valid in the event of aesthetic defects
attributable to and/or deriving from the incorrect and
inadequate installation of the plasterboard to be fitted
to complete the product, as the installation of the
plasterboard is the competence and full responsibility
of a third party other than the Manufacturer.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SAFETY
•The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage
indicated on the label found inside the product. •If it
features a plug, connect the product to a socket that
complies with current standards, located in an area
accessible even after installation. •If it does not feature a
plug (direct connection to the mains) or the plug is not
located in an accessible area, even after installation, apply
a standard double pole switch that ensures complete
disconnection from the mains in category III overvoltage
conditions, in accordance with the installation rules. •The
product features a special power cable; if the cable is
damaged, contact the Service Centre for a replacement.
● Please note! Before reconnecting the circuit to the
mains power supply, make sure that it is working correctly,
always check that the power cable is correctly installed.
The product can also be used in
WINDOWS KIT:
conjunction with a Window sensor KIT (not supplied by
the manufacturer). If the Window sensor KIT is installed
(only if used in DUCT-OUT mode), air extraction will halt
every time the window in the room, on which the KIT is
applied, is closed. The KIT must be electrically
connected to the device by qualified and specialised
technical personnel. The KIT must be certified
separately in accordance with the safety standards for
the component and its use with the device. Installation
must be carried out in accordance with current
regulations for domestic systems.
PLEASE NOTE: the wiring of the KIT to be connected
to the product must be part of a certified safety extra-
low voltage (SELV) circuit. The manufacturer of this
device disclaims all liability for any inconvenience,
damage or fires caused by defects and/or problems
associated with the malfunction and/or incorrect
installation of the KIT.
Please note! Do not use with a programmer, timer,
separate remote control or any other device that activates
automatically.
